Picture perfect, that’s how I want to describe this image. But there is more…

The Louis Vuitton Pochette Felicie Bag is packed with everything you need. Well, we know that because Fev LSM told us all about it: ‘Obviously in love with my Felicie Bag, it’s so practical to use and help me organize my purse neatly!’.

And we can’t agree more, the interior comes with two removable pockets – one zipped pocket and a flat pocket with 8 credit card slots.

It’s much more than a wallet, it can be transformed into a clutch bag or a small pouch whenever you want, just remove the golden chain.

Obvious the Louis Vuitton Pochette Felicie Bag comes in several different styles – the Monogram Vernis Leather, Monogram Canvas or Damier Azur Canvas. It’s available in purple, red and pink.

But Fev LSM chooses Monogram Canvas and we can understand why, because it’s stylish, elegant and the Monogram Canvas is Louis Vuitton’s most iconic print.

It could be early days yet, but not sharing these upcoming beauties from Chanel would have been a greater crime. From the early F/W13 collection (also known as Pre-Fall 2013) is a Boy Chanel WOC, as well as Boy Chanel Clutch Pochette.

First up, the Boy Chanel WOC, which if I’m not wrong, is also the first time it’s available in velvet, and in stunning Navy Blue, no less. Rounding up the WOC is gorgeous burnished silver hardware on the chain sling and the clasp, which should have many of you hyperventilating with joy. Or ecstatic with glee, whichever you prefer.

Another new shape is the Boy Clutch Pochette, basically a longish east-west beauty in light pink fur and leather. A move in the right direction as far as the shape is concerned, it will be another welcome addition (I can already see ladies ditching their usual clutches for this at their next society fête) for those enamoured with all thingsBoy.

If you thought you’d seen the last of that now infamous ‘Lego’ clutch from S/S13 Chanel, think again. From the F/W13 collection which should hit Chanel boutiques worldwide in the coming months, the Chanel Plexiglas Clutch Pochette will come only in black plexiglas, but with a slight difference.

While the originals came plain in a wide variety of hues, the ones from the upcoming season will come ’embedded’ with a little something extra. Measuring 20 cm across by 12 cm, one will be inlaid with multi-coloured wool tweed, the other a little more subdued and decked out with crystal strass, great for nights when you need to stand out a little, and sparkle.

Both priced at SGD16,240 each, I’ll be the first to admit that while these may not be for everyone, they will definitely be appreciated by those who specially collect the odd, the quirky and the wonderful from Chanel. Like myself.

Having had the honour of seeing the prototypes the last time I was in Paris, I’ve kept these a secret for as long as I could, and now with their official launch I can finally break my vow of silence (I know it all sounds a tad dramatic, but that’s just me, especially with the tropical storm we are experiencing right now in Singapore).

Featuring a pattern that’s reminiscent of Moynat’s interior structure in their trunks dating back to 1870, Artistic Director Ramesh Nair had taken upon himself (and with great success too, if I might add) to create the new monogram, with a series of repeating Ms that’s both discreet and yet arty.

Something important to note, whilst most printed pochettes (and totes) these days are made up of coated canvas, the Rivage collection from Moynat are printed on durable cowhide leather, sourced from French suppliers to the house’s highest specifications.

Besides the ones in Blue, Grey and Yellow (shown above), there will also be a special edition in Red for Isetan Tokyo. Prices, sizes and images of the totes will follow soon, so do stay tuned for more updates.

Gorgeous, no?

Update: 16 June 2014
This just in, the Rivage Pochette measures 21 cm by 15 cm and retails for EUR350. Have a look at their boutique in Paris (348 Rue Saint Honoré, diagonally opposite from Colette) or drop them an email at contact@moynat.com to place an order.

You all know the Louis Vuitton replica Pochette Metis, a bag that’s so cute that even someone who hates the LV Monogram Canvas would love! Timeless, practical and chic, this LV replica has been the favorite of many this year.

But how much should one pay for a great replica of this bag? And what are its most important features? This Ebuypurses1a.com review might be the answer to these questions!

There’s an older post on the blog with a Louis Vuitton replica Pochette Metis that was bought from Fangfang and I would like to make a summary for those of you who haven’t read it. The biggest problem with that Louis Vuitton replica bag was the quality of the canvas they used for it. Like my friend described it, it was “too thin underneath not smooth”. The lock was also a bit scratched when the bag arrived but the thing that bothered her the most was the canvas. For your reference, Fang’s LV Pochette Metis price was around 200$ with shipping. If you want to read the entire review, you can find it here . The Louis Vuitton Metis bag price on ebuypurses1a.com is a bit more confusing though because there are two prices for the same bag and there’s a price difference of almost $100.

Just like you will discover in this Ebuypurses1a.com review, the Monogram Canvas is the most significant flaw of thisreplica Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis as well. But this time it’s not the texture of the material but rather the colors. The price was about the same.

Ebuypurses1a.com Review – Shopping Experience

“Hi, I recently made a purchase from ebuypurses. I bought the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis. The price of the bag was very reasonable, about $191.00 total. Ebuypurses included free shipping for this purchase, and the shipping only took a total of 10 days. I have to say that I’m very happy with my shopping experience from this site. I was very excited to receive the bag, it was very well packed and surprisingly it did not have any funny odors. The bag itself looks just as advertised on their website. It came with a dust bag and a small Louis Vuitton envelope that included a care booklet and tag for the handbag. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. Will buy from them againTags: LouisVuittonPochetteMetis

I recently shared some of my Christmas goodies, which included an Hermes Kelly Pochette in Bleu Iris. I was really happy to add this clutch to my collection as I had been thinking about it for some time. Actually, I used to own one of these pochette bags years ago in black, but foolishly let it go (that’s a lesson from me to you – think long and hard before eliminating Hermes bags! It may be hard to add them back later on).

Anyway, I was thrilled to add this special item back to my closet and wanted to share some more about the Pochette for any of you considering this bag. I know that some of you have been requesting this post, and my apologies as I haven’t had time to put it all together before today!

The Kelly Pochette has the same turnlock hardware as the regular Kelly, which means that there’s a wee bit of effort needed to open and close it, but you can also leave just the lock closed with the straps hanging under like you do with the regular Kelly. This is what I do.

The little strap up top has some “give” and flexibility to stretch so that you can fit your hand underneath to hold by it’s top “handle”.

The inside of the Pochette is just one large compartment, with a small slip pocket in the back (which I usually have used for valet stubs, room keys, etc).

Also – the dimensions of the Kelly Pochette are about 8.5 x 5.5 x 2.75 inches by my measurements, which means that it’s a small bag. But for a small bag, I actually find that the Pochette fits quite a bit. First, it fits my giant iPhone 6 Plus with its case comfortable (so important!). On top of that, I’m able to add a lipstick, some cards and cash, and even sunglasses if I really want, though it gets to be a tighter squeeze at that point.

In my opinion, the bag is a perfect size for an evening event or wedding…yet holds enough if you want to take it out for a quick errand, lunch, etc.

Finally, the Pochette on yours truly.

I hope this post was helpful for some of you out there considering this bag! Unfortunately I don’t have a Kelly Cut to compare the Pochette with, so I couldn’t do a side by side…but maybe one day that will change!
